Mere weeks after releasing their A Valentine EP, US Elevator are set to return with a 7″ single for Record Store Day that finds the band covering Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now” and Jim Croce’s “Spin, Spin, Spin.”

The group, which exists as a collaborative project between folk duo Sarah Lee Guthrie & Johnny Irion and the Rondo Brothers, offers a blend of organic sounds and machine-driven grooves that’s being called “beat folk.” The new single follows February’s A Valentine, which included covers of Cyndi Lauper’s “All Through the Night” and Liz Phair’s “Never Said” in addition to a Guthrie/Irion original, “Looking for You.”
